You don't mention which chassis it is on, but with the US built units, the latch from the inside is usually a rod to handle to the latch. The rod can get bent if things stick a little, or the plastic clips that hold it can break. If you pull the plastic inner door panel off, you will be able to see what is going on. I had to rebend the rod on our 07 Chevy because the inside latch would just barely open the door.

possibly the plastic clip on the linkage.

here in AZ a door parked toward the sun will have it's clip fail.

I have done the drivers side rear door on my truck twice and the tailgate linkage 4 times over 15 years.

one of those stupid 25¢ parts...

but an easy fix, be patient.

youtube will likely have videos to help you locate the clips on the door panels which need to be eased out and screws ( if any).

btw carburetor linkage clips are made of metal and can often be subbed in for the platic- check the "help brand" pre-packaged stuff at auto parts store
